If it's an aftermarket headunit that's staying on, it's a problem with the install. I'd focus on that, rather than the ignition switch. Who did the install?
The power wire (probably a red wire) on your H/U is connected to a continuous power wire (probably a yellow wire) and not a switchable IGN wire. Your H/U is drawing power even when the ignition id OFF.
The fix is connecting your H/U power wire to a switchable IGN wire. That is an easy fix. You do not need a new ignition switch.
